To begin your Makedo Camera, Use the Makedo Safe-saw and cut the smaller box to the same width as your Camera body box. This will be the viewfinder for your Camera.

What's up with you and safety? Instead of criticizing someone elses instructable saying how it's not for fun for anyone over five? The instuctable was obviously made for someone young. I hope your trolling because what you're saying is absolutely unbeliveable coming from anyone.

Yeah, sorry about that, I was just really mad when i typed my comment, and my little brother had fun with the camera. I still hate the way they take safety so seriously in our country. I'm in 8th grade and in my school they only let us use safety scissors but they'll let us use power tools. That's weird.

Ha! I've been using sharp nail scissors since I was 3 to cut things other then nails. Maybe even younger. I only found out what safety scissors were about when I attended grade school. I hated them especially when they were covered in gunk like dried up glue and rusty. How are young kids suppose to learn to cut with those other then to learn to be frustrated? I believe in safety but that I always thought that to be too much. These days even the play ground equipment is being taken away because fear of lawsuit. *face-palm*

BTW great and creative make for the kids!

oh, maybe that's why I don't have recess in my school. They instead have some dumb thing called "advisory" where all that happens is the teacher says, "Stop talking and do your homework or read."

yes, I hate how they get covered in gunk! I do believe in safety but yes, they do go too far. Maybe it's because my parents are Indians (I'm an indian, but I'm a US citizen because I was born in the US) because at home my parent's don't take safety very seriously. And get this: My DAD is the one that's overprotective. I've used a drill at least 50 times in school and my dad's principle is "if I don't know how to do it, surely my kids don't know either." Weird.
